I mount my phone in a dashboard cradle for the GPS. For tunes I select a station or my playlist on Pandora and just leave it. Luckily I can skip or replay songs using steering wheel controls.

Since when is it wrong to loiter by a taco truck?

Poor woman.

But I’ll probably go with the assault and battery that shut down the old Subaru Thursday Borders meets in Schaumburg.

That’s awful :(

I’m the same way as you. I ignore people unless they’ve driven me into a rage, literally, then I shoot them dead with my eyes and imagine them careening off the road in an epic fireball.

Correction: All car commercials *except* Audi ones suck.

Actually, they are showing up in the US now.

This one hurts. I love it so, so, SO much but that price!

Earlier this year, my father treated me to round-trip first class tickets to California. I’ve flown many times but never anywhere near first class so I was very excited!

Goddammit, I told my coworkers to stop cutting onions.

I know selling cars can be hard work, but auto-decapitation is taking it a touch far.

My 1997 VW Jetta didn’t try to kill me but tried to break my spirit. It ran great except when:

This 1986 Volvo 240 DL (RWD, manual). My brother and I learned to drive in this car and we each took it to high school our respective senior years.

What about preventing carbon build-up with long drives or an “Italian tuneup”? This is recommended for the 4-cylinder TSI engines common in VAG cars, but could it apply to *any* car?

Or duct taped it to the rear license plate.

Automakers will never share terminology for what their cars can do, but why not require that automakers and automotive advertisers include the SAE level in prominent superscript after each mention of a particular automation technology?
